Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I cry alone Not always with physical tears With unspoken truths never to reach ones ears. Sometimes I cry alone As the burdens of one's heart burst from my eyes And for the moment I stand naked absent my disguise. Sometimes I cry in public The silent cry for help as I try not to kill the vibe "Hold it in just a bit longer," I tell myself like it's some form of bribe. Sometimes I cry public Through nothing more than a smile Afraid to be alone so in good company I stay awhile. Sometimes I cry when I'm happy When the troubles seem to fade away And laughs are shared all through the day. Sometimes I cry when I'm happy Through the naive eyes of the boy I once was Never knowing the feeling of hate and what little good it does. Sometimes I cry As we all do Tear drenched eyes stain the floor with a pain flavored dew. Sometimes I cry As a man it's hard to admit But I've learned to finally not give a shit.
